Partnering for Student Success
At the University of Calgary's International Professional Programs (IPP), we value our authorized agent partners as essential in connecting international students with high-quality educational opportunities.
Agents play a vital role in guiding students through the application process and helping them select programs that align with their educational and career goals. We are committed to fostering strong, collaborative relationships built on trust and transparency, equipping agents with marketing materials, dedicated support, and clear expectations for success.
IPP programs provide students with in-demand industry skills, hands-on learning experiences, and valuable networking opportunities with Canadian professionals. To support our agents, we offer competitive commission incentives and the resources needed to effectively represent the University of Calgary. Together, we ensure student success through ethical, professional recruitment practices.
